The Flesh-Pink C limbing Rose. The parentage is Souvenir du Pres. 
C arnot X Rosa I \ 'ichu youiu d. No other climbing Rose has ever created 
such favorable comment as Dr. W. Van Fleet, for the flowers are so per¬ 
fect in every way—form, color, delicate fragrance—and borne on such 
long, strong stems. Cut a bouquet of this variety just before the flowers 
open, and you will find difficulty in procuring any other Roses to compare 
with them in sheer loveliness. When fully established you can expect 
several canes to to 15 feet long every season and these canes will pro¬ 
duce masses of Roses the following June. 
I he splendid hearty growth, beautiful shiny bronze-green foliage, 
crimson thorns, and perfect hardiness, added to the exquisite blooms, 
make this the choicest variety in this class. 
Open flowers are 4 inches and over in diameter with high-built center 
and beautifully undulated and cupped petals. The color is a remarkably 
delicate shade of flesh-pink on the outer surface, deepening to rosy flesh 
in the center. Flowers full and double, delicately perfumed; buds pointed; 
stems 12 to'i8 inches long, fine for cutting. From one plant hundreds of 
Roses can be cut for your friends, for selling, or for indoor decoration. 
‘‘The Rose with 1,000 Perfect Blooms” 
In 1910 I bought of you a Dr. Van Fleet Rose. Last year 
I cut from it by actual count 1,000 perfect Roses. Many 
also bloomed and d ; ed on the vine. Several dozen went by 
parcel post to Vermont and were reported to have kept in 
good condition nearly two weeks. I have not had or seen 
another Rose grown outdoors with so much of the delicate 
beauty that is usually produced only in a hothouse.—Miss 
F. B., Chevy Chase, Md. June 27 , 1918 . 
No. 14167 . 6 - 10 - 19 . 
I am so delighted with the Dr. W. Van 
Fleet Rose that I want more like it.— Mrs.

Three years ago I sent to your firm fora 
Dr. Van Fleet Rose and it is just fine. 
Everybody that sees it is in love with it.—
